Professional Trail Crew Support
The U.S. Forest Service - Ketchum Ranger District (KRD) has more than 400 miles of single-track trail for a wide variety of users, from hikers to mountain bikers, equestrians to dirt bikes. The KRD lacks the appropriate annual funding to adequately finance a trail crew for routine maintenance and new trail projects. Without predictable federal funding, the Forest Service struggles to keep up with the constant workload and backlog of trail maintenance.
This is where the Wood River Trails Coalition comes in. One of our focus areas is financially supporting our local land management agencies’ trail crews so they can worry less about money and more about digging in the dirt. Our goal is to give our land management agencies the financial security to plan for years in advance with trail projects, routine maintenance and hiring crew members. Check out the video below that showcases our partnership!
Currently, the WRTC has a Collection Agreement with the Sawtooth National Forest – Ketchum Ranger District to fund multiple trail crew member positions.
